弱法師
Shimomura Kanzan
1915
Inspired by a Noh play of the same name, the painting depicts a blind man named Shuntokumaru praying under plum blossoms with the setting sun in the distance. The scene, set in the garden of Shitennō-ji in Osaka, spans four meters across two six-panel folding screens. Unveiled at the second Inten exhibition in 1915, Yorobōshi was designated an Important Cultural Property in 1967.
